Irmato Jentjens is a recently formed company after Jentjens Machinetechniek was taken over by the Irmato Group. This takeover has led to the combination of forces of Irmato, a consultancy and engineering business present in the BeNeLux and Germany, and Jentjens, a firm that automates production processes. The automation of production processes is mainly required by clients to reduce their production costs. It also contributes to reduce manual labor, an increase in production, an increase in quality, a reduction in waste and the increase of hygiene and product safety. This is especially helpful in the food sector, which is one of the main target industries of this company.
Irmato Jentjens designs and develops the intelligent solutions that will help realize this. The products supplied by Irmato Jentjens load, detect, stack and transport different types of food. Intelligent products can detect colors, weight, shape and structure, which mean that products can be packaged accordingly and that products with an inferior quality are taken out of the process.
A project that completely suits the philosophy of this company is the CROPS project. Irmato Jentjens is working together with multiple European universities and other research centers in the field of food and agriculture to develop robotic equipment so that entire greenhouses can work on an automated base. Spraying plants and picking the right fruit without damaging the product or the plant, and doing all this in a really warm and humid unstructured environment is the goal of the company.
